This information is replaced with a new process: How to request committer changes

Committers for a new project are provided by the initial project owner as part of the Project Proposal Template (TODO-link-is-still-to-ONAP) which is presented to the TOC for approval.  The specific wiki version of the proposal at the time the project is approved by the TOC defines the list of Committers initially approved for that project. After initial approval, adding a new Committer or removing a Committer once the Project is governed by community rules.  The Charter has the official language and specific details that must be adhered to, but in a nutshell it works like this:
